ABRAHAM SOLOMON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

WEATHER-STRIP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM SoLoMoN, a subject of the Czar of Russia, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved WVeather-Strip, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to a new and improved form of weather stripping for windows, and an object of my invention is to provide a weather stripping and runway for windows which will be water-tight, easy of operation and simple of construction.

I attain the above outlined object by positioning on the parting strip of a window, an N-shaped metallic member within each of the openings of which is adapted to slide, an L-shaped strip attached to the opposite sashes.

With the above and other objects in view, as will more fully hereinafter appear, the present invention consists in certain novel details of construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of part of a window casing showing the preferred embodiment of my invention attached thereto; and Fig. 2 is a horizontal transverse section taken through the device shown in Fig. 1.

Described more in detail, there is shown a window casing 5 having the customary form of parting strip 6, the upper glasscarrying window frame 7 and the lower glass-carrying frame 8 positioned on opposite sides of the parting strip. Disposed on the parting strip and extending between said frames 7 and 8, is a metal strip 9, N- shaped in cross-section, extending at right angles to which is an integral L-shaped plate 10 extending along the side of the Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 29, 1911.

Patented Dec. 12, 1911.

Serial No. 646,591.

parting strip and fastened to the window casing by means of a nail 11 or other suitable fastener. Extending into each of the openings formed by the N-shaped plate is one leg of an L-shaped plate 12, the other leg of which is fastened by means of a nail 13 to the adjacent frames 7 and 8. It will be seen by this construction, that there is a sliding tongue and groove connection between each of the frames and the window casing.

While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been described, it is to be understood that many changes could be made in the above construction and many apparently widely different embodiments of this invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof. It is intended that all It atters contained herein in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings, shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claim is intended to cover the full scope of the invention and is not to be given any narrower construction than the prior art demands, and that materials, sizes and relativities of parts are non-essential, except as called for in the claim.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

In combination with a window casing having a parting strip, an N-shaped metal strip fastened to the outer edge of said parting strip, an upper and a lower glass-carrying frame disposed on opposite sides of the parting strip, and a pair of L-shaped plates, one fastened to each of said frames, each of said plates having a leg extending at right angles therefrom in sliding engagement with one of the openings formed in said N- shaped strip.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ABRAHAM SOLOMON.
